This week, we’re in New Hampshire recording our last episode before moving to “Studio 2.0”! Kenzie shares the details of the Exeter Incident of 1965, a well-documented UFO sighting involving multiple witnesses, including local police officers who reported seeing a mysterious, brightly lit object in the night sky. This intriguing encounter remains one of the most compelling and widely investigated UFO cases in U.S. history. Then, Lauren tells us about Maura Murray, a 21-year-old nursing student who mysteriously vanished after a car accident on a rural road in New Hampshire on February 9, 2004. Her baffling disappearance has since become one of New Hampshire’s most captivating unsolved cases, sparking widespread speculation and numerous theories. Get ready to 'Hamp' up your curiosity as we delve into New Hampshire's out-of-this-world mysteries!

This week, we are in hot and sunny Florida! Lauren tells us about Florida's I-4 Dead Zone, a notoriously haunted stretch of highway infamous for its high number of accidents and ghostly sightings. Local legends and eerie events have cemented its reputation as one of the most mysterious and dangerous roads in the state. Then, Kenzie shares the story of Eastern Airways Flight 401 to Miami International Airport. On December 29, 1972, Flight 401 crashed into the Florida Everglades due to pilot error and a faulty landing gear indicator, resulting in the deaths of 101 out of 176 passengers and crew. But this story doesn’t end there— in addition to survivors' testimonies of their bravery and resilience, crew members reported seeing ghostly apparitions of the flight's crew on other Eastern AirLines aircraft. We caution you to be wary of your surroundings while traveling through Florida.

We have a unique episode for Montana this week. Lauren and Kenzie cover two stories that happen to take place in the same location. The Old Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge, Montana. Kenzie starts us off with a couple of the prison’s most infamous inmates, Jerry Myles and Lee Smart. These two are responsible for holding over 20 hostages for 36 hours during the Prison Riot of 1959. Lauren continues with the telling of additional dark history that plagues the old prison. These stories lead many to believe that the prison is one of the most haunted places in Southwest Montana. Please be advised that soap boxes are stepped on in this episode.

We are headed to the United States’ largest state by area, Alaska, known as the Last Frontier State. This might go down in history as Kenzie’s favorite episode because she gets to talk about otters the WHOLE time. She shares with us the legend of the Kushtaka, a giant otter-man that comes from Tlingit folklore. Legend says the Kushtaka will trick you into following them deep into the Alaskan wilderness, only to never be seen or heard from again. Then, Lauren redeems herself and concludes the story of the Devil’s Chair. Afterwards, she tells us about the SS Baychimo, a steel-hulled, 1,322 ton cargo steamer built in 1914 in Sweden and owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. She became a notable ghost ship along the Alaskan coast, being abandoned in 1931 and seen numerous times since then until her last sighting in 1969. This episode will make you think twice about exploring Alaska’s vast wilderness, especially alone.

Lauren is home from her honeymoon, and we ARE in Kansas this week! Lauren starts off by telling us about a mysterious water well. Can’t tell you much more than that because Lauren doesn’t finish the mystery and leaves us on a cliffhanger! After that, she shares about the legends and ghost stories that surround Stull Cemetery. The cemetery is rumored to be one of the 7 Stairways to Hell. Then, Kenzie gives us a classic, one of a kind unsolved murder mystery. Gary Simmons disappeared Tuesday, October 15th, 1974 after writing a $30,000 check for a stranger. At least…that is what we are led to believe. We are so happy Lauren had a great time on her trip, but even happier that she is back stateside!

We are on the east coast in our country’s tiniest state, Rhode Island! Kenzie starts us off with a very sad and gruesome story of Jeffery Mailhot. This story is not for the fate of heart or easily queasy. Luckily, Lauren’s story of Rhode Island legends lifts our spirits! She’ll tell us about sea serpents and a ghoul with duck feet who might become A Scary State’s new mascot. This episode is sure to make you laugh and cry..

We are in OOOOklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain! Lauren shares the dark and twisted tale associated with the Hex House. Once you hear of the evil that took place, it won’t be surprising that this house ends up haunted. Next, Kenzie shares an urban legend where most facts can’t be confirmed or denied because the people who shared the facts cannot be located. Did they disappear because they shared their story? This episode is sure to blow your socks off!

We are headed way down yonder to Georgia to share two head scratching mysteries. First, Kenzie shares the lengthy and complicated tale of Benjaman Kyle. The only person to be considered missing, even though authorities knew where he was. Then, Lauren tells us about the disappearance of Justin Gaines. After a night on the town with friends, Justin is never seen again. In both of these stories, private detectives, websleuths, and kind samaritans try to help solve these mysteries, but to no avail. Georgia will certainly be on your mind after listening to this episode.
